Liverpool confirm Grace Fisk signing as defender reunites with former manager

Liverpool have confirmed the signing of 25-year-old defender Grace Fisk on a free transfer following the conclusion of her contract with West Ham.

Fisk has spent the last three-and-a-half years with the Hammers and made 84 appearances in total for the club, which makes her their third all-time record appearance holder. Prior to that, she enjoyed a decorated American collegiate career having emerged from the youth system at Millwall Lionesses.

The defender is capped at youth level for England and has previously received call ups into the senior squad. Fisk will hope a move to Merseyside can bolster her chances of returning to the international stage.

Fisk has previously worked with Liverpool manager Matt Beard while at West Ham and looks forward to reuniting with her former boss. She said: “I’m really happy to be here. I’ve been walking around the city and just getting used to everything.
